The obvious singles on this album are Countdown and Soul Drifter.
While I love Don't Look Down, it's just NOT single material.
I really like Street of Dreams into Surrender the Rain. I think they are a great documentation of where his head was at in the years leading up to this album and the whole letting stuff go he had to work thru personally. I kinda wish he would do them back to back live like on the album. The interstitial talking bit reminds me of a Laurie Anderson sort of performance art piece.
Interesting that that was sort of the last time he worked on anything with Richard and their personal friendship pretty much ended as well.
I liked the imagery of the title Out of the Cradle because it speaks simultaneously to maturity as in just aging but also to the idea of getting out of FM and that whole 'rock star' thing which can be infantilizing.
